Report numbered 42 starts as '[A newspaper arrives this morning announcing that the Greek government accepts the conditions of the armistice proposed by the allies and that the Greek troops would evacuate all Asia-Minor]'. Then it goes on as "[On this subject, travelers coming from Athens say that if the Greek government orders to evacuate Asia-Minor the Greek army will not obey. General Papoulas withdrew and the independent Greek army of Asia Minor would be placed under the command of General Yoannou. In a word, the Greek army would make under the command of General Yoannou, against its Government the same gesture as the Turkish army, under the Command of Moustapha Kemal, against the Government of Constantinople'. The second report is related to Koum-Bouroun, Ezine, Pounar-Bachi, Boz-Keuy etc.

French text of the first report: "Un journal arrive ce matin annonçant que le gouvernement Grec accepte les conditions de l'armistice propose par les allies et que les troupes grecques evacueraient toute l'Asie-Mineure. A ce sujet, des voyageurs venant d'Athenes disent que si le gouvernement Grec Ordonne d'evacuer l'Asie-Mineure l'armee grecque n'obeira pas. Le general Papoulas se retirait et l'armee grecque d'Asie Mineure, quasi independante, serait placee sous le Commandement du General Yoannou. En un mot, l'armee grecque ferait sous le commandement du General Yoannou, vis-à-vis de son Gouvernement le meme geste que l'armee turque, sous le Commmandement de Moustapha Kemal, vis-à-vis du Gouvernement de Constantinople.
